Volume 2: The Source of Life Chapter 32: A Flower Blooms on Top of His Head

  The rotating cloud mass gradually, gradually, actually stopped.

  After a long while, the cloud cluster suddenly began to shake violently, as if it was about to jump out from the depths of my eyes at any moment. A scorching pain shot through my brow, and suddenly, "Whoosh!" A white light burst forth from my brow, lasting for a full ten breaths before fading away.

  Immediately afterwards, many cracks appeared on the milky white cloud mass, like eggshells shattering open, and a faint red glow surrounded it.

  "It's actually changed color!"

  Before I could react, a strong spiritual power fluctuation surged around me, like ripples on water, pouring into my crown and then flowing back towards that pale red cloud.

  Rotation picks up speed again.

  This scene is exactly the same as when I was first introduced to matchmaking, the only difference being that the color of the clouds has changed.

  I couldn't help but smile wryly, originally thinking that this period of non-stop tempering would bring about a major breakthrough for the cloud group, but unexpectedly, although there was change, it still couldn't store up spiritual energy.

  Without spiritual power, one cannot awaken a soul device and naturally cannot become a Soul Master. The main problem is that there is still no way to remove the imprint of the soul servant.

  I couldn't help but smile wryly, and soon I wasn't very annoyed anymore. I quickly put the issue behind me and focused on absorbing spiritual energy instead.

  For convenience, I gave that red agate a name: Heart of Freedom. In the hope that I can rely on it to change my fate in the cycle of rebirth!

  As time passed, the spiritual power infused with a free mind became less and less, I knew it was time to wake up.

  I slowly opened my eyes with a collected mind.

  The room was bright and sunny, with a large patch of sunlight streaming in from the window, indicating that it was already noon.

  The intense light made my eyes very uncomfortable, I squinted and slowly opened them after a while.

  Unlike the last time I was led by the media, I found that my eyesight has actually deteriorated.

  My line of sight is somewhat blurry, and I look at it vaguely. It took me a long time to get used to this feeling, and then I found out that my eyesight hadn't gotten worse, but... what?

  I'm not quite sure about this because I seem to have seen... air?

  In the void, many small dots float up, making me look at things as if there is a layer of screen in between. At first, I thought it was because my eyesight was too good, so good that I could even see the dust in the air, but slowly I discovered that those small dots were not dust.

  It's probably not air either, but then I vaguely suspected that it might be the power of the origin of life.

  After thinking for a long time without getting to the point, I decided to find Lin Mu Xian to ask him some questions and see if the Soul Master had ever encountered such a phenomenon.

  Downstairs, Kaka sat on the only sofa in the living room reading a book.

  "Where's Lin Mu Xian?" I asked.

  "Something's come up, hmm... I heard that someone from Peter's school has really arrived!" Kakabu said with a smile as he looked at me.

  Suddenly, almost at the same time, we both exclaimed: "What's wrong with you?"

  At almost the same time, we both fell silent.

  I'm not quite sure what startled Kaka, but I clearly saw that when she lifted her head, on the top of her small head, there was a silver-colored misty lotus flower.

  I composed myself and looked again, but the result was still the same. The lotus flower in silver white also had a hint of light gold. Nowadays I see things somewhat blurred, as if separated by a thin layer of mist, but I am very sure that Kaka's head has a fog-like lotus flower.

  How come I didn't notice it before?

  "It's time for lunch, and we're having steamed fish at noon." After Peter died, that beautiful woman seemed happy, and she was delighted to do household chores.

  Hearing her call out, I turned to look at her and was once again stunned by what I saw.

  She has it too!

  Unlike Kakaq, her head is adorned with a pale white flower bud that has yet to fully bloom.

  "Fang Cheng Gege, what's wrong?" Kakabu tried to pretend as usual, but the fierce gaze she cast at me clearly revealed her inner turmoil.

  I don't know what's going on, but I do know that no matter what happens to me, I shouldn't tell others. Lin Muxian might be a bit better off, being more foolish, and Kaka Bu...

  I chuckled and said, "It's okay, it's rare for the master to be away from home, I'll go out and take a look at the beautiful woman!"

  Kaka Bu wanted to say something else, but I had already run out of the door.

  The scorching sun, under the illumination of the midday sunlight, my vision is clear and not at all blurry. Although I can still see those tiny floating dots when I look closely, they are much fainter than indoors.

  People crowded on both sides of the street, with a small misty flower on everyone's head.

  I stood on the street, opened my mouth like a fool and burst out laughing.

  It's too interesting!

  I've finally found something that transcends reason just like my infinite reincarnation cycle.

  As I continued to observe and ponder the pedestrians, I gradually discovered that each of their lotus-like crowns was different, just like there are no two identical leaves in the world.

  But aside from minor differences, they can be summarized into the following types.

  They are generally the same in shape, all like fog condensing into a vague and illusory state. There are two colors, one is grayish white, and the other is silvery white. However, sometimes the luster may be slightly different.

  Just like the couple in front of me who were arguing, at first the girl was crying with her head down, the flower on her head was a bit dull, and the boy's was brighter. But when the girl suddenly slapped the boy, the situation reversed instantly, and the girl's color became brighter.

  This phenomenon is everywhere, Taoism has a saying of "observing qi", I don't know if it's the same as this.

  Apart from the color, there is also the shape. Most people's hair on top of their heads are just grayish white buds, and many are simply a small ball, only a very small number of people have opened a few petals, like Kaka Bu's lotus flower fully blooming, I haven't found any yet.

  In love studies, there is a saying that everyone has a specific magnetic field, and only those with matching magnetic fields can fall in love forever.

  It can't be what I'm seeing, right?

  I'm thinking about it, and later I can take on a part-time job as a matchmaker.

  I read with great relish for a long time, and suddenly I had an urge to take a look at myself.

  I casually found a car and took a look in the rearview mirror, uh... nothing was there.

  How can there be none?

  I stubbornly found a large mirror and looked inside, but still couldn't find it.

  Everyone has it, but I don't?

  Suddenly, I feel empty inside.

  At this moment, a flash of inspiration came to me, and I looked at others from the mirror. After taking a look, my heart suddenly felt relieved.

  Others and I are the same, can't see anything from the mirror at all.

  But what is it that I see?

  As I wandered along, lost in thought, a strange and inexplicable feeling suddenly crept up from behind me. I spun around abruptly, my eyes fixed coldly on a young man standing in the corner, pretending to read a newspaper.

  Lately I often have the illusion of being peeped at, and I once tried to find out the source of the peeking, but failed. It seems that they are quite skilled.

  But at this moment, they peeked a bit too far.

  The young man remained bent over reading, I smiled faintly and walked towards him step by step.

  "Don't look anymore, tomorrow's news will be more interesting!" I sneered.

  A young man looked up and smiled: "Hehe, tomorrow's news is also today's events."

  Seeing him still pretending to be stupid without any awareness, I didn't have the mood to entangle with him, and directly asked: "Have you been staring at me for a long time?"

  "What? I just sat down for a bit." The young man looked bewildered.

  I swept him from head to toe and said calmly, "Thick wrists like iron, calloused index finger, focused eyes, sharp but not piercing. Which unit did you serve in?"

  Apart from that, there is another special thing I didn't mention, which is the lotus flower on his head. Amidst the blur, it emits a faint silver-white color, and two petals have also bloomed.

  I've been strolling around the street for so long, and silver-white ones are rarely seen, but he still has two blooming flower petals.

  Is this someone who has nothing better to do than read newspapers on the street?

  Seeing his identity exposed, the young man didn't seem too surprised and said in a low voice: "I knew you weren't an ordinary high school student."

  "What are you looking for me?" From his words, I already understood that this exposure was intentional on his part.

  "Tonight at 8 o'clock, the abandoned factory on Gulei Mountain, bring your girlfriend along and come over."

  I knew he was referring to Lin Muxian as his girlfriend. I didn't explain anything and just gave a cold smile: "No time."

  Young man burst out laughing, "Don't be in a hurry to leave, take a look at this." He then pulled out three student IDs from his pocket and waved them in front of me.

  At a glance, I saw clearly that they were high school students!

  "Heh heh, is it available now?" the young man asked with a smile.

  I gave him a cold look, staring at him until the smile on his face stiffened, then he hummed softly and said nothing, turning to leave.

  I know, Tang Chao's family has come for revenge.

  It's undeniable that the Tianlong Clan is powerful, suppressing the national power of Tang Chao's father. Otherwise, they would have directly attacked me instead of finding a breakthrough from Gao Pangzi.

  However, the private forces of the Tang family were also very powerful.

  The location was chosen at the ancient Langshan factory, where Gao Pangzi and Wang Fulin were detained, and even Lin Hongyi was also arrested, indicating that they had conducted in-depth investigations on me.

  The strength of the national special forces, I have a deep understanding. To put it bluntly, 400 meters away, hitting the red apple on your head with an ordinary rifle is not uncommon at all.

  With my current physical condition, past dangers are certain.

  Moreover, these people have planned and then acted, but I am completely unaware of them, losing the initiative in both tactics and strategy.

  In this case, unless it's a movie shoot, the chances of going in alone and coming out alive are almost zero.

  I dare not take the risk for this.

  Watching loved ones and friends die is indeed very painful, I have also been deeply hurt before. But when nine years pass, you find that the dead friends are actually alive again, and they are doing very well, after a long time, will you still feel their death?

  Anyway, this time I'm dead, there's always next time.

  Silently all the way back, I had already made up my mind. The villa's gate was closed, and as I raised my hand to push it open, a low voice came from inside.

  "He must have run away, triggering a soul imprint, let's flush him out."

  The hand pushing the door stopped in mid-air, and I couldn't help but smile - after all, someone from Peter's school had finally arrived.

  Since I made up my mind last night, I haven't been bothered about this matter. As for past mistakes, there's no need to feel regretful or guilty. Just solve the problem and make sure not to make similar mistakes again in the future.

  In a flash of inspiration, I had an idea.

  "I'm back, master."

  Smiling lightly, she pushed open the door and entered. The living room had two more strange men. Nowadays when I look at people, first of all, I look at the lotus flower on their head. The lotus flowers of these two men were silver-white and translucent, with seven or eight petals that had opened halfway.

  Moreover, in my eyes, both of them are robust and sturdy men.

  I turned my gaze back to Lin Miao Xian, and like everyone else, there was a lotus flower on her head, with a silver-white color, in a state of being about to bloom.

  "Are you Fang Cheng?" One of the burly men stared at me coldly, while the other quietly moved to my left side, with a hint of suspicion that he was trying to prevent me from escaping.

  I didn't mean to run away at all. I smiled freely and walked over to the sofa, sat down, and asked knowingly: "Looking for me with something on your mind?"

  Lin Miao Xian didn't notice my change, at this moment, her beautiful face had a hint of sadness, and she looked at me with some unease, saying in a low voice: "They say that Peter was killed by you, they want to take you back."

  Looking at Lin Mou Xian's eyes, which were clearly filled with loss and worry, I suddenly stood up straight, my eyes fixed on hers as I said, "I've told you before, Peter wasn't killed by me. Do you even doubt the guarantee of a friend?"

  "I know, but..."

  Lin Miao Xian wanted to explain something, but I cut him off harshly: "There's nothing to explain. You've disappointed me too much."

  Facing my cold and unyielding words, Lin Muxian fell silent, lowering her head, and remained voiceless for a long time. To onlookers, she seemed to be quite incompetent as a mistress.

  "Shut up, kid! No matter how much you talk, it's useless. The order from above is to take you back, dead or alive."

  If I resist, I will be killed.

  At this time, Lin Muxian also raised his head and said: "Fang Cheng, regardless of whether Lord Pi De was killed by you or not, the order has been given from above, and I must take you back. Otherwise, there is only the soul servant mark to trigger."

  I gave her a faint smile, "Do you believe me?"

  Lin Miao Xian's face was hesitant, and his tone softened again. "What's the use of me believing you?"

  I flashed a brilliant smile and said magnanimously, "In this life, having one true friend is enough. With you believing in me, that's all I need, I'll go back to headquarters with them."

  Upon hearing this, Lin Muxian's indifferent face also slightly changed expression, and her eyes seemed to be welling up with tears. She nodded heavily, "Let's go, as long as you really haven't done anything, they definitely won't wrong a good person."

  I'm very satisfied with Lin Muxi's performance, and the previous post's heartfelt words were obviously beneficial to her. Of course, I wouldn't think that just because of these few sentences, Lin Muxi would stand on my side and confront the organization that has nurtured her for over a decade - that kind of good thing can only remain in fantasy.

  It's already quite good with this effect!

  After entering the house, Kaka Bu smiled at me with a smile on her face, and the shock of noon had completely disappeared from her face. At this time, she smiled innocently: "Fang Cheng Gege, I also believe in you, come on!"

  I glanced at her lightly, refuel?

  I've had a feeling that Kakabu has long known I'm the one who killed Peter, and these past few days, he's been treating me like an actor in a play!

  I don't mind at all, I just find it strange that she didn't see through me.

  I shook my head slightly and put these things aside for the time being. As I was about to leave with empty hands, Lin Muxian and others called out: "Wait a minute."

  Those two men from Pidian's school turned around suspiciously and asked, "What, want to back out?"

  Lin Mou's face was also full of puzzlement.

  I sneered and said: "Regret? What regret? I was originally going to go to headquarters with the master anyway. It's just that before leaving, I still have some things to do."

  Lin Mou Xian's eyes widened as he suddenly realized: "Are you going to say goodbye to your family?"

  I smiled wryly and shook my head: "If it were that simple, I'd be relieved. The Tianlong who can put me at ease wouldn't have botched the job, and Gao Shengping would have been caught."

  "What?" Lin Muxian was taken aback for a moment.

  I smiled lightly and said word by word: "Gao Shengping was caught by Tang Chao's family!"
